The AVALON AUV was developed between 2007-2009 by a combined team of students and employees of the DFKI. Since then it has been continuously extended and updated, providing a platform for thesis and project oriented teaching. In the summer of 2009 the AVALON-team successfully participated in the SAUC-E 2009 (Student Autonomous Underwater Competition Europe) held in Gosport, UK achieving a solid third place. The was task to autonomously mediate an obstacle course.

“AVALON” (Autonomous Vehicle for Aquatic Learning, Operation and Navigation ), with only 1.35 meters in length and a diameter of 24.6 centimeters, is thanks to its compact construction perfectly suited for operation in narrow, obstacle-rich waters while being impassible against currents and turbulences due to a weight of 132 lbs. Its 6 SeaBotix thrusters provide an amazing manoeuverability making the most delicate tasks possible while mutually being able to reach a maximum depth of 150 meters.
